Important article by @internetmaggie.com on incels' anti-porn rhetoric as evident in the Montreal shooter's rambling manifesto. Misogyny (& hatred of women's sexuality, autonomy & rights), not anti-cop sentiment is key here. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: The Montreal shooting revealed how antiporn rhetoric is being taken up by incels

The shooter’s 104-page manifesto made clear that misogyny was the clearest of his motivations

Given the awful and dehumanizing rhetoric of 'antiporn activists', @samleecole.bsky.social predicted this outcome years ago.

Seconds after I hit publish on this, my thesis that there will be people who have access to national platforms, who will try and obscure what Seth Hatfield's manifesto said. Stephanie Carvin just claimed that it's anti police (it isn't). Take a read... noraloreto.substack.com/p/shooting-t...

"This manifesto is not a left wing document. It’s a reactionary document that correctly identifies some of society’s problems, completely misdiagnoses other problems and then leaps right past social movement organizing and into violent revolutionary tactics to try and LARP a solution."

JFC. The shooter evidently travelled to Montreal and rented a hotel near the Aylo headquarters, allegedly firing shots into the building from across the street. Employees hid under their desk for over an hour. www.tvanouvelles.ca/2026/06/23/f...

Shots were fired into the Aylo building in Montreal, allegedly by an incel with a violent manifesto calling for a new order to curtail the economic and sexual freedoms of women. montrealgazette.com/news/local-c...

Manifesto laden with incel ideology linked to Côte-des-Neiges shooting

A 104-page document advocates for use of terror in creating "new order."
